Golden Cover Mountain

　　Golden Cover Mountain is situated 7 kilometers south of Huzhou City, with its main peak reaching an altitude of 292.6 meters. The Guangxu-era "Wucheng County Annals" from the Qing Dynasty states: “The peaks twist and turn, resembling a royal canopy, hence the name.” It is also known as Cloud Nest because “Golden Cover is often shrouded in clouds; the surrounding mountains encircle it like a wall. When the sun rises, the clouds disperse quickly, except over Golden Cover, which lingers longer.” The mountain is covered in dense forests. To its south lie the ruins of Xiagu City, halfway up the mountain sits the ancient Plum Blossom Taoist Temple, and at the summit today stand the villa once owned by the proprietor of Shanghai’s Guanshengyuan and Huzhou’s TV transmission tower.

　　Golden Cover Mountain is embraced by green hills and graced with flowing streams. The air is fresh and the surroundings tranquil. The area also boasts mineral water resources, forming a grand scenic landscape together with the nearby Daochang Mountain, Bilang Lake, and the Tomb of the English Martyrs.
